Weird T-shirts continued, by the way. You still think it’s Laura making them? I was sure it would be pretty easy to guess haha~ But no worries, it’ll be revealed at some point. And since Filip doesn’t have any text on his shirt, can you come up with something funny/appropriate? I do have an idea of my own but I’m curious if you can beat it (you probably can lol).

But for Filip as an math student there are so many possibilities – but i think it cant be something that makes math look good (lets face it, we dont know if the creator likes it( so i would go with “Simple Calculation: Math + Me = mental breakdown” but its also possible something like “Math is the problem, thinking is the solution” 😉

If you consider, that math is all about patterns and sequences, mathematicians make the best magicians, cause magic is based on the same things.
Okay, more runes and less numbers, but at the end of the day, that’s just a different font for the same thing. 🙂

It’s part of the selection procedure. You don’t just advertise “come join our secret society of magic users”. You first test if they’re worthy. If they can’t recognize that math is magic, they fail at the gate.

You are right, but think about this:
If you want to have an army of magicians wouldnt it be easier to at least somehow hint that what you are doing will help you la……wait a minute…..forget it, the first thing every teacher says is – these are things that you will need later in your life – oh man we just had to listen more and distinguish more the really useless classes from the ones you might need….now there are so much things that make sense…..:-P

Something to that affect, where symbols / text / numbers turns into a joke. Most math is taking something and reducing it to something that makes more sense / easier to work with. As an engineer, that’s what i think a mathematician soon to be mathematician would want for a shirt. 😀

We know very little for sure, but I think it hides him by default, at least. (Hence why getting knocked unconscious didn’t let the demons find him).
Maybe it only works if he’s touching it, and he’s got it in his pocket now. I somehow doubt he’d leave it back in a tent or something.
It could also be he’s just so conspicuously active, that the medallion can’t hide him at the moment.

I went back to earlier pages and had a closer look at Stefen’s neck. The amulet’s cord was only visible a few times right before the last attack. So even if he is wearing the amulet now, it might be hidden by his t-shirt.

Something i could imagine how it works is, that it hides his presence until the point he interacts with specific persons or he makes his apperance obvious – Like going into a room and making a joke or something like that. And after that, everyone in this specific room are able to notice him for a while until he leaves their presence. That would explain why he is still “invisible” to the demons even after loosing consciousness – he never interacted with one directly so they never saw him – there is only the one catch with the part just before the death of Renate, where he was screaming into the tent….

So he does have to wear it to use its power, its not working when he has it in his pocket? – This is somehow the way i thought it would work – The part with how he gets peoples attention is whats interessting then….

And something totally unrelated 😀
I just read “What if companies interviewed translators the way they interview coders?” – i am no programmer, but i know this feeling, but for me its more this way https://youtu.be/BKorP55Aqvg 😀

With the things about the history of Spain and Ancient Greek, I get an idea, yet now, as not a coder,I need to ask how are programmers interviewed?
Always get ask about Basic and Linux when you should know about C++ (or whatever is modern) and Windows?

I must admit I’ve never really considered maths to be science, though. I always interpret science as the empirical investigation of the world using the scientific method. And while you can’t really do that without maths, you can very well do maths without that.

It seems to depend on the university whether they grant a B.Sc/M.Sc or B.A/M.A for a subject. Apparently some universities in the US go as far as offering only B.A.’s even for natural science degrees.
Given a choice between only those two, though, I’d also be inclined to say maths goes with the sciences and not the arts. But I still wouldn’t call everyone with a “science” degree a scientist any more than I’d call everyone with an “arts” degree an artist 😛

Yeah, they can hold up signs with a score and shout out commentary (“Wooo! Nice legs Adam!”).
And the guy with the highest score wins enough booze to forget it ever happened (if not for the photographic evidence).
